Trans-Siberian Express Trips
with BRIDGE THE WORLD
|
THE GREATEST JOURNEY ON EARTH
It's not just hype - it truly is the longest single journey you can make on the face of this planet. Stretching from one continent to another, across five time-zones, the Trans-Sib embraces a huge diversity of experiences. In a special partnership with The Russia Experience, Bridge The World offer a portfolio of specially-designed Trans-Siberian itineraries - from non-stop tickets for those in a hurry, to trips with in-depth content in Siberia and Mongolia.
WHY TAKE THE TRANS-SIBERIAN?
- See the world from 0 feet, instead of 33,000 feet. Instead of emerging from an aircraft into the burst of hot asian air, by taking the Trans-Sib, you see how Europe merges slowly and logically into Asia, changing step-by-step across this vast land-mass.
- Visit an unseen world. Ever been so bored on a flight that you thumbed through the route-maps at the back of the in-flight magazine? If so, you'll have noticed that the area between Moscow and Beijing is like a hole in the world - almost no international airports at all, and none which are served by major western airlines. The Trans-Sib is a window onto an unseen world of Taiga forest, Mongolian Steppes, nomadic herdsmen. Did you know that 75% of Russia is in Asia? So what is "there"? Come with us to see Siberian buddhists, shamanistic holy sites, unique wildlife, the deadly secrets of the KGB...
- Get a sense of real space. Travelling each and every kilometer to Asia by land, you're reminded that this is a big, big world - something that we often forget in the jet-age. Visit people who've never seen McDonald's, never plugged anything into an electric socket, and never used a phone. And are completely happy about all that.
- And, well, of course, it is the most famous journey in the world.
Why travel the Trans-Sib with Bridge The World?
Bridge The World have been offering Trans-Siberian trips since the end of the USSR, and were the first agency in London to send Travel Consultants on the trip, to see local conditions for themselves. Since then, we've sent a huge number of travellers - literally thousands - on this famous journey. Bridge The World is a Company of Travellers, and we have a commitment to ensuring that we ourselves have been there to check it out - recently both Travel Consultants and Management have been along the rails again (and you can see the living proof here!)
Bridge The World are appointed agents of The Russia Experience. We work with The Russia Experience because they embrace the same values our clients look for in their travels - itineraries for individuals; unique content with genuine interface with local culture; ethically and environmentally responsible; attractive pricing, and a truly expert knowledge of this highly specialised area of travel (Russia Experience staff are also guidebook authors and contributors).
If you have questions about the trip, about the itineraries, or want to discuss how it could be worked-into a longer world-wide itinerary, please don't hesitate to email us.
